Well glad you and Jake both checked out okay ;-)

HOLY SHIT! $1,400!?!?! Here in WV (where I work anyway) it doesn't come even close to that price. I think my boss has had to raise some prices but I don't think a Heartworm treatment comes to even $300 +/- a little. I know it depends on the weight of the dog but that still wouldn't come close to $1,4000. BTW, I think our HW test is only around $25.

Well I'm not sure I trust what the tech says, but just thankful I don't have to go through it anyway.

Ugh, I hate that wellness thing. I had to do it a few years ago at work. I was so annoyed that I mostly lied it the "coach" ;)

thank you for clarifying it was Jake and not you that had the heartworms. or any worms. these are important distinctions.

Glad to hear the health beat is going a-ok :)
